<h2>Why is this an issue?</h2>
<p>Fields and auto-properties that are never assigned to hold the default values for their types. They are either pointless code or, more likely,
mistakes.</p>
<h3>Noncompliant code example</h3>
<pre>
class MyClass
{
  private int field; // Noncompliant, shouldn't it be initialized? This way the value is always default(int), 0.
  private int Property { get; set; }  // Noncompliant
  public void Print()
  {
    Console.WriteLine(field); //Will always print 0
    Console.WriteLine(Property); //Will always print 0
  }
}
</pre>
<h3>Compliant solution</h3>
<pre>
class MyClass
{
  private int field = 1;
  private int Property { get; set; } = 42;
  public void Print()
  {
    field++;
    Console.WriteLine(field);
    Console.WriteLine(Property);
  }
}
</pre>
<h3>Exceptions</h3>
<ul>
  <li> Fields on types decorated with <code>System.SerializableAttribute</code> attribute. </li>
</ul>
